Chapter 685: Champions League


Although before the game, Yang Cheng still stubbornly stated that Real Madrid has the ability to defeat Chelsea on the road and complete the reversal; although Real Madrid fans have repeatedly expressed that they firmly believe that the team will be able to win away from home; although Real Madrid players have also repeatedly stated that Kaka and Harvey? Alonso, the team can beat Chelsea, although ...
However, when Real Madrid took the limelight of a 5-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao and went straight to London, the entire Europe was still filled with an atmosphere called pessimism, even the reports and prospects of the Marca and Aspen newspapers. It seems that there is a bit of sadness in the cold and easy, because everyone knows that Real Madrid is actually difficult to win away.
Captain Raul took the oath in an interview, "Since everyone said that 100% of Real Madrid can't beat Chelsea, then we will take 150%, even 200%, we will put our lives on Stamford Bridge, we have to exhaust All means to take away a victory from away! "
The game is going on as always, replacing Kaka and Harvey? Alonso's starting Raul and Granero both showed great diligence. From the first minute, they fully invested in the game and went all out. Real Madrid is also using them to pass and run again and again, pulling and chiseling. Chelsea's defense.
Real Madrid continue to occupy the initiative and control the game, just like the first round of the game, fiercely launched the wheel battle attack, launched a wave of attack, but Chelsea also cast a set of copper walls and iron walls, this Chelsea's goal is only pressure, not dangerous.
Mascherano, known as Real Madrid's best top midfielder after Makelele, this game he covered his defense zone to the front of Chelsea's restricted zone, he even hit a foot in the game Very high-quality long shots, but Cech ’s outstanding performance dissolves the long shot of the Argentine midfielder beyond the goal.
Raul is not only the captain of the team, not only a midfielder and an offensive player, but he is also a defender. He runs almost everywhere, as if he has endless physical strength, but in fact Everyone can tell that he is clenching his teeth.
And Ramos, and Aveloa, and Villa, and David? Silva, Mata, Beckham, and Tiago? Silva, Pepe, and Casillas ...
The game has reached the last one, it is no longer just a technical and tactical confrontation, but also a and confidence contest between the two sides, because in the case of no secrets from each other, the player's physical fitness has been seriously consumed, any The skills and tactics have lost their place.
Guti came on the court, he changed the habit of playing football that he was too lazy to run, and started to run around like Raul, looking for opportunities everywhere, and sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​Chelsea again and again, but it was always time and time again. Be dispelled because he will find that there are people everywhere.
"Everyone originally thought that in the second round of the game, Chelsea played at home, and they got an ideal 0: 0 away. They should press out and attack. The scene should be more open, but in the end we found that we were all wrong. Mourinho ’s team does n’t have the slightest idea of ​​playing. "
"It seems that Mourinho is very clear that playing offensively, Chelsea can't compare to Real Madrid, so he simply plays defense, and now is also very dangerous for Real Madrid, because although they control the initiative, Chelsea retreat on the third line. The position and formation are kept very compact. Although Real Madrid exerted pressure, it did not create a threat. "
"If you can't find a way to break the situation on the field as soon as possible, continue this way, the scene will become more and more unfavorable for Real Madrid."
Facing the fierce Real Madrid, Mourinho chose to give in. He did not hesitate to continue to stick to his away tactics at home. His tactics look like 433, but in fact it can be said to be 460, or even 550, because Torres rarely tops at all.
Yang Cheng knows very well that Chelsea is waiting for an opportunity to fight back, and this opportunity will appear as Real Madrid's physical consumption becomes more and more serious!
He has no choice but to continue to attack like this, because once retracted, once the team's anger is over, Real Madrid will be finished!
Fight, there is a chance to win, not fight, only lose!
Good luck cannot always be accompanied by himself, and strength may not always bring a victory. This is Yang Cheng's personal experience with rich coaching experience, so he can accept all this.
It's just that he feels helpless because he has Torres, Malouda and Joe? Cole, Lampard, Ashley? Chelsea, who is an outstanding star like Carl, even wants to play this negative football tactics. It can't be said that it is sad, but only helpless.
After all, the Champions League is a very realistic world. If you succeed, you will win the black cat and the white cat. The one who can catch the mouse is the good cat.
After playing 90 minutes, still 0: 0, entered the overtime.
But at this time, the physical energy of the Real Madrid players who have actively attacked has been exhausted to the limit. Although the players clenched their teeth one by one, in the end, mistakes will still occur!
…………
…………
Tiago? Silva could feel her legs shaking because of fatigue!
Sweat from the forehead to the brow corner to the cheek to the chin, dripped on the jersey, where it was already soaked, close to the chest, a little heavy!
If it is in normal times, such a weight does not care at all, but at this moment, he feels that this jersey is so heavy that he can't afford it.
The throat is burning, and the mouth is dry as if it is about to crack. I want to swallow a spit, but I find that there is a little sticky liquid in the mouth that I ca n’t swallow. , But found that the tongue is almost as dry as the lips.
He dared not look up at the time because he was worried that he would have a relaxed attitude after seeing the time.
The team's psychiatrist once told him that everyone will have the unconscious mind to relax, even if you desperately spend 89 minutes, even if you watch the time and desperately instill in your own mind. This kind of mentality cannot be relaxed, but your too tired body will still want to be lazy.
This is conditioned reflex, and people can't control it at all!
Therefore, the best way is not to watch, just listen, listen to the whistle, listen to the shouts of teammates.
Everyone can't do it, some can't move. After all, in the 90-minute game plus overtime, Real Madrid's players can't bear even the iron body, and Chelsea, they can't move.
However, because Real Madrid's pressure on Chelsea weakened, the Blues began to show some signs of rebound, but it was not obvious.
Tiago? Silva's job in this game was to watch Torres. He did a good job. How many counterattacks have been Tiago? Silva broke off and failed to form a threat, while defending Torres, Tiago? Silva is also actively involved in the defense and offense of the midfield, which makes his range of activities very large and the physical energy consumption is serious.
Head coach Yang Cheng said before the game that this game is no longer a technical and tactical confrontation, nor a team strength confrontation, but an all-round contest. The winner belongs to the side with the fewest mistakes.
Chelsea's mentality is obviously the same, so they are defending the goal and the penalty area, and Real Madrid have not made mistakes so far, but continue to look for opportunities patiently.
However, sometimes, even a little bit of subtle mistakes may change the situation of the game.
Chelsea launched a counterattack, just like the previous counterattack, the ball was pushed into Real Madrid's half, Tiago? Silva saw Torres pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball and immediately came out close to the Spaniard.
Even if he just moved a few steps, he could feel the muscles of his legs twitching, trembling, and almost unable to bear down, but he still clenched his teeth, because he knew that his teammates were the same After persevering, after 119 minutes of competition, everyone has reached the limit.
Can't let Torres turn. This is the task assigned by Yang Cheng. The Spanish striker has poor ability to take the ball from the back, but once turned around, the ball impacts from the front, and the threat is very different, so Tiago? Silva slammed against Torres and watched the Spaniard turn around, blocking his right foot.
Torres stumbled and passed, but the ball remained.
The referee didn't whistle. This is a very beautiful defense, Tiago? Silva felt relieved. He thought subconsciously that he wanted to fight back.
However, when he was just about to take the ball out, suddenly a figure jumped out, poke at the ball under his feet, and directly poke off his ball, which made him startled, almost instinctively, subconsciously Turned around, and at this time, he even wanted to reach out and pull down the other party.
Anyway, it's the front of the penalty area. When you get the most, you give a red card, which is better than the opponent facing the goal.
It's too late!
Lampard just entered the penalty area after stealing the ball and immediately kicked a ball to volley. Casillas did not respond well because he did not think of Tiago? Silva will be intercepted, watching the ball into the net, 1: 0!
A goal worth a million dollars was born!
The tragedy is that Tiago, who has no eyes? Silva was completely the green leaf of Lampard cheering and celebrating like crazy. His trembling legs finally couldn't support his body and fell on the court.
Wants to cry, but no tears!
The game is over!
All Real Madrid players fell on the grass at Stamford Bridge Stadium, and everyone couldn't bear to blame Tiago? Silva, because this is the only obvious mistake in the Brazilian game so far, a mistake in the 119th minute was caught by the opponent and scored a goal!
The Brazilian kneeled on the grass and hugged his head, as if to get in, but did not sob, but silently, with the grass on his head, maintaining a very awkward posture as if punishing himself.
Raul walked on the court like a walking dead, with his hands on his hips. He was unwilling, but he also knew that his teammates had done their best.
This is the case with football games. There is no eternal winner and no one can win!
Offense is always harder than defense, which is why there are so few goals in football!
Compared with a year ago, this time no Real Madrid players cried because they could not bear the failure. They all just sat silently. Slowly, they will accept this failure. By then, they will be stronger than they are now. .
As Yang Cheng said, losing means that our skills are not as good as others, so losing is not shameful. It is shameful that we do n’t know why we lose, and we never thought of winning!
A team that wants to win and meets a team that doesn't want to lose. This is always the most unanswered problem in the world.
Yang Cheng stood on the side of the court. He conducted the game like this from beginning to end. He looked at the players on the court with a serious face, and Real Madrid sitting on the ground became the background of the madly celebrated Chelsea. A picture, but he forced himself to remember!
Remember, you will become more motivated!
"I said, you don't have a chance!" Mourinho certainly wouldn't let this great opportunity to hit his opponent, so he walked over as soon as the game was over.
Yang Cheng grinned, a little reluctant, with a bit of bitterness, "We will avenge!"
"You said the same thing last year!" Mourinho haha ​​smiled.
Yang Cheng laughed instead. He knew that Mourinho was deliberately irritating himself. If he was angry, he just fulfilled his wish. "Relax, a semifinal will not kill me. Let's walk Look! "
Mourinho shrugged, "Okay!" Then he walked over to celebrate with the players.
His Chelsea finally reached the finals, it is really not easy, so many years!
This world is very realistic, no one will sympathize with the weak, sorry for the loser, they will only raise the winner and trample the loser!
…………
…………
"I have to bless Chelsea. They act very stubbornly and work very hard. They gave us a lesson vividly and made us aware of our shortcomings. I don't think there is any problem with their victory!"
In the press conference after the game, Yang Cheng generously expressed his affirmation of Chelsea's victory in an interview with reporters.
"Everyone has their own pursuit. What is football like? Everyone has their own different views. It does not necessarily have to be an offensive football to win. That is the victory of football. I think the development of football is more It ’s about blooming flowers and keeping diversity, so I ’m also sure that Chelsea ’s victory belongs to football.

"I would n’t say we did n’t perform well, on the contrary, I think my players performed very well in the two rounds, especially Tiago? Silva, he is the most defensive line in our team. Steady player, I believe that after this game tonight, he will become more mature and more stable. "
"What do you want to get, then pursue what, I think this is the eternal law on the football field, we not only want the result, we also want more, so we have to pay more, but Even if we encounter setbacks and failures in this process, we will still grind our teeth and move on! "
"I firmly believe that perseverance and dedication will definitely reward you!"
Yang Cheng's words received unanimous applause from the reporters at the scene, and even Mourinho couldn't help but nod.
Although the coaching philosophy of the two is different, this does not prevent Mourinho's complex emotion of being a mentor and friend to Yang Cheng, but also a life and death enemy.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, everyone feels sorry for Real Madrid being eliminated by Chelsea in such a way, what do you think?"
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I don't think there is anything to regret. We lost because we are not as good as others. Only by admitting this, we will not lose all the time. Losing is losing. There is no need to make excuses!"
"But 0: 0 in the first round, as well as Harvey? The injuries of Alonso and Kaka have brought great difficulties to Real Madrid. Don't you think this is a very important reason for Real Madrid's away defeat? "
"One thing!" Yang Cheng nodded. "But Raul and Granero also performed very well. We still control the situation of the game. I can only say that the biggest reason for losing this game is that , Our strength is not strong enough! "
"But for this, I think it ’s not surprising that our average age is very low, we have many young players, and we still have many shortcomings, so I firmly believe that as players grow and mature, our future will be more and more powerful."
A reporter immediately stood up and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang Cheng, Real Madrid stopped at the quarterfinals last year. You said that the team is young and inexperienced. Real Madrid stopped at the quarterfinals this season. You say the same thing. ? "
Yang Cheng recognized this as a media reporter close to Barcelona, ​​and smiled slightly, "You also said, the previous 16, the last 8, the fourth this year, according to the development trend of two consecutive years, Real Madrid will reach the final next year , We will win the Champions League next year! "
The following reporters were in a sudden uproar, because so far no coach has dared so boldly shouted when he will win the Champions League. Dare to call such a slogan one season in advance, I am afraid that only Yang Cheng .
However, Yang Cheng is not just talking casually, but considering the current situation of the team, he must set higher goals for the team and at the same time give players more motivation to play so that they can understand why they want to. Fight, give them a hope and expectation.
It is indeed a bit early to call such a slogan, but it can minimize the impact of losing the Champions League semi-finals and allow players to better invest in the remaining games.
However, Yang Cheng can also predict that he will stop at the semi-finals. The following media will definitely render Real Madrid ’s defeat. This group of guys who are afraid that the world is not chaotic will not easily let go of hype materials like Real Madrid, so he called With such a slogan, you can also transfer the media to other places to the utmost extent, instead of just being held accountable for the loss of the game and bringing unnecessary pressure to the players.
After all, Real Madrid has several rounds of league matches and a century derby against Barcelona. This is a game that Yang Cheng and all Real Madrid players and fans are unwilling to lose.
The best thing is to vent the depression in the Champions League on Barcelona!
